…Remember last year when Rep. Adam Schiff accused Fox’s Tucker Carlson of “carrying water for the Kremlin” for asking questions about the Russian hacking narrative and we couldn’t believe our ears? This is just standard behavior now. Democrats have been so deeply saturated in toxic Russia hysteria that you routinely see political discourse stopped dead in its tracks by accusations of someone being a Russian bot or Kremlin agent. They’ve been propagandized into thinking it’s normal, so they don’t think twice about leveling that obnoxious, conversation-ending accusation with no evidence whatsoever in order to shut down anyone who questions their assertions…

… This stuff happens constantly now, and people lacking any amount of self-awareness think it’s perfectly normal and healthy…

...These are not stupid people. Not all of them, anyway. Many of them are very well-read, academically accomplished individuals with sharp intellects and good problem-solving skills. How are they missing this simple, glaring fact that’s so obvious to us?

...The answer is that their problem isn’t a lack of intelligence, it’s a lack of self-awareness. You can have a PhD and an exceptionally high IQ, but if you haven’t done enough rigorous self-reflection in your life, you often won’t have enough awareness of your own mental processes to be able to tell the difference between agendaless information and ham-fisted attempts to manipulate you…

...If you haven’t worked to become stringently honest with yourself, you won’t know the difference between an egoically comfortable worldview you’ve been given and an honest perception of what’s really going on. If you haven’t ever questioned your own narratives about what you are, what life is, and what’s really going on here, you won’t question the narratives you’re being given by confident-sounding pundits with assertive voices...

...People who’ve taken time to pick apart their own inner bullshit see right through the establishment Russia narrative as clear as day. The manipulations stand out like a black fly on a white sheet of paper...

...When you get relentlessly real with yourself, you are intimately familiar with the ways your ego tries to manipulate the world around it, pulling people in, pushing them out, trying to control, striving for approval, trying to manipulate people’s perceptions of you, and trying to find comfortable worldviews for oneself…

… If you’ve never gotten real with yourself in this way, it doesn’t matter how much knowledge you’ve amassed or how adept at problem-solving your gray matter is — you will not have enough insight to be able to notice when propagandists are working to manipulate what you think. If you’re surrounded by screens full of talking heads all pumping you full of data about Russia infiltrating the highest levels of your nation’s government and taking over the world, it doesn’t show up on your personal radar as the fumbling attempts of a failing empire trying to manufacture support for escalations with a rival power structure, it just shows up as data. If there’s the appearance of a wide consensus among all that data, it shows up as fact...

...This is why there’s so much dissonance between the people who see this and the people who don’t. People without any personal insight see a virtual consensus in all the data they’re presented with, so anyone disagreeing with that consensus must have ulterior motives which are opposed to truth. People with some awareness of how thought works and why humans do what they do get as frustrated as somebody trying to point out something red to a friend who is unknowingly colorblind…

…I point this out because people who see this clearly are constantly being shouted down and bullied into silence...

...It’s important to be aware that those who try to silence you on this matter are indeed as blind as they seem, so there’s no need to let it get to you. The escalations between the US and Russia benefit nobody besides possibly a few ruling elites who stand to profit from a complex geopolitical power grab, and they imperil every living organism on earth...

Keep screaming about this, and don’t waste your energy pushing back against pure myopic inertia. Trust your inner truth-finder, and keep speaking. There are many whose eyes are just on the cusp of seeing this disgusting psyop for what it is, and they’ll hear you…

My opinion: Special Prosecutor Mueller has wrapped up “his” Russian Collusion investigation. My guess is his investigators have discovered that the “collusion” is not with the Trump campaign, but that investigative leads point to the dems. Moreover, he knows he (and others on his investigative team) has a conflict of interest to follow the leads any further. He knows his integrity is at risk; his only option is to conclude his role in this search for Russian Collusion; conclude it with indictments of the superfluous financial criminal activity his investigators unsuspectingly discovered in this politically consigned rabbit hole of investigations. Basis of speculation: First) the focus of this indictment seems to be financial crimes. The indictment also contains counts of conspiracy. My experience tells me “conspiracy” indictments include all known names of two or more co-conspirators and known, or unknown, “unnamed” co-conspirators. My experience tells me that all “conspirators” known to be involved this financial crime(s) conspiracy have been included in this indictment; that if ever, there are more indictments to come the crimes cited will be financial crimes—not Russian Collusion. Second) Mueller—to maintain his character—will make a “suggestion” to the DOJ (and Congress) to appoint a new special prosecutor to continue the investigation into the real corruption—the criminal conspiracy of the dems.

I'm hearing the Pres. Trump is releasing previously secreted documents from the Pres Kennedy assassination on Thurs. Why now? Previous Presidents have refused to release them. My sense is it's Pres Trump's attempt--ahead of the inevitable Comey/ Hilary debacle releases--as a prelude, to inform the public that the FBI/ CIA are not infallible. I am almost certain that the newly released Kennedy investigation docs will show for the first time since J. Edgar Hoover, these revelations will be "major" embarrassing to the FBI/ CIA. Pres Trump plan, Phase II, Comey/ Hillary/ Bill/ Obama. Wait for it; wait for it...

Readers, remember the Portland Police Bureau (Oregon) Special Investigations Division (SID) scandal of the late ‘70s/ early ‘80s? (Vol 1. Chapter 3. Pages 19-23) From my perspective, the United States Department of Justice is in a similar situation as was Portland Police Bureau (Oregon) back then. The similarities: In 1980, administrators in PPB and the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office heard wind of potential corruption within some units of the SID narcotics unit. Now in 2016/2017, administrators in the US Executive Branch and the DOJ have wind of potential corruption in the FBI. In 1981, PPB and MCDA were faced with the dilemma of pursuing the rumors with full understanding discovery of corruption would diminish the effectiveness, trust, and operations of the narcotics unit for years to come. Reorganization and reforming to re-establish operations and repair trust would be a formidable task, all at risk of losing years of effective narcotics enforcement while the organizational changes are planned and implemented. In 1981 PPB and the District Attorney fears materialized. The powers went after the corruption; it took years to recover.

Now, in 2016/2017 there are real signs that the FBI was complicit in the corruption of the Obama administration—certainly complicit in conspiracy with Hillary Clinton. The President, the Executive Branch and the DOJ now face tough decisions. I hope they do the right thing.

So, as life goes on, I met tonight one who back ('80s) then would have had a fair amount of dislike for this Narc. Unbelievably though, to me, after intros and discussions about our pasts, you would not guess, we got along graciously. I learned; and this one learned. Read my books; Characters/ events validated from the other side too now!

The definition of “FACTS”: It’s been a pet vexation of mine for years of liberals who profess no “absolutes”. What of the contrast between the definition wrested by the “left” vs. the definition proffered by the “right”. When the word “fact” is evaluated by the left, it’s with a “viewpoint”, “belief”, and/or “attitude” vs. by the right, with “objectivity”, “exactness”, and “rest”. No doubt, as I see it, the definition of the word “fact” has been re-characterized/ reassigned into the “philosophical art” of liberal culture.
